I want to say something that feels risky: I’m not sure how I feel about radical honesty. So many of the thinkers that I love talk about how supportive relationships require radical honesty. In her book Pleasure Activism, adrienne maree brown argues that radical honesty is an integral principle for liberated relationships: “Radical honesty. No omissions, no white lies, no projections. Ask the questions you really want answered, speak your truth, and let the relationship build inside all that reality.” I agree with most of this definition of radical honesty, except for the part about “no omissions.”
